My wife, Sheilla, N6IKB, still has a Sharp Talking Time One. The only thing
wrong with it is, you gotta be very careful about moving the volume control.
Otherwise, it keeps reasonably good time. I wish I would have bought one
when they were out. When I attended the Ohio State School For The Blind
Alumni Reunion in 1979 they were all the rage. I also wanted the clock
calculator as well. My wife had one of those too until a few years ago. We
liked the clasical music piece it played when the alarm went off. 73 and God
bless. Doug, N6NFF

batteries and fiddled around with it and have it set to tell me the time =
on the half our and on the hour. Plus, I'm using it as a timer when =
riding my stationary exercise bike. I got to figuring about when I got =
mine and it turned out to be 34 years ago. The thing is still working =
great. That was around the time Mount Saint Helens blew. That is =
related to an interesting ham story on 20 meters sideband I'll tell =
next.
